In a Nutshell:   There are abilities and talents that God has built inside of you uniquely tuned by the Holy Spirit to bring glory to God as well as giving hope and support to those around us. A renewed sense of peace and purpose is awakened when we yield with gratitude to the Holy Spirit's work in our life. One way of describing this process is "abiding in Him."

Ice Breaker:  What is the extent of your understanding and experience with "pruning" plants?

Title:  “Spiritual Gifts”

Texts:  John 15:1-8; 1 Pet. 4:7-11; Eph. 4:11-16; 1 Cor. 3:6-9

Some Questions to Consider:

1. In the allegory of the Vine & the Branches who are the “vine dresser”, the vine, the branches?
2. What two types of branches does the vine dresser cut off? What is the requirement of bearing fruit?
3. What is the ultimate purpose for bearing fruit? John 15: 8; 1 Pet. 4:11
4. If God were going to “prune” something out of your life in order to grow your influence in bigger, what would he prune?
